Bill > SCR102

This concurrent resolution proclaims October 2025 as California Firefighter Appreciation Month and October 4, 2025, as California Firefighters Memorial Day, honoring the brave men and women who serve in California's fire services. The resolution highlights the California Firefighters Memorial located at the State Capitol, which commemorates over 1,500 firefighters who have made the ultimate sacrifice, with their names permanently inscribed on its limestone walls. The document emphasizes the critical role of firefighters, who respond to approximately 3,000,000 incidents annually, providing emergency services beyond fire suppression, including medical assistance, disaster response, and hazardous materials interventions. The resolution also recognizes the California Fire Foundation's efforts to expand the memorial to ensure space for future fallen firefighters and acknowledges the ceremony on October 4, 2025, in Sacramento, which will honor 30 fire service professionals. Additionally, the resolution urges Californians to remember firefighters who have died in the line of duty and to express appreciation for those continuing to protect communities, recognizing the dangerous nature of their work, including potential exposure to occupational hazards and life-threatening conditions.
